- South Carolina’s governor has just signed into law a bill banning abortions after six weeks, making South Carolina the latest state to tighten its grip on abortion access since Roe v. Wade was overturned last June. Now a new study, "Care Post-Roe," reveals that laws blocking female reproductive rights are putting lives at risk. The co-authors of the report join Michel Martin to discuss how abortion bans are endangering women.

Thank you. Please keep speaking out. Women and girls are suffering.
This isn't your usual misogynist crap. Misanthrope at all levels. This law harms mothers, fathers, siblings,..., doctors, nurses, etc. basically everyone.
287,000 died during or after pregnancy in 2020. 325,566 rapes in women ages 12 and and up.
YOU ARE MURDERERS NO MATTER HOW YOU TRY TO SUGARCOAT IT. YOU KILL MOTHERS, DAUGHTERS, GRANDDAUGHTERS. YOU SHOULD BE FIRED AND JAILED.
Oh, they're having the sexual time of their life ... orgasms without responsibility!
@@alfredjodokusquarker2965 The right is a Cult of Sadists and the worst part is, they're egging each other to go further down the Sociopath!
In the words of Gomer Pile, surprise surprise surprise 😢 this doesn't even account for the care deserts being created by these laws. Drs simply not practicing in certain areas, procedures not being taught. Women need to be marching in the streets.
All Americans need to be marching against all the laws removing our rights!
Pregnancy and childbirth can be risky too. Access to information and care is essential.
And health insurance is important.
Pregnancy and childbirth is one of, if not the most dangerous things a woman can do.
For too long, because it's so common, people have believed it's no big deal.
It's a huge deal that can go horribly wrong at any point. Yes, the mortality of both mother and child can be a clear and present danger, but there's morbidity which, I think is given the short shrift.
From temporary (gestational diabetes) to permanent (the gestational turning into lifelong diabetes), heart failure, pelvic floor drop, latent autoimmune diseases coming to the fore, damage from a C-section, and premature death can be among several outcomes.
These devastating outcomes need attention as well.
America is becoming so scary...
Agree thanks to republicans
*Becoming* ???🤔
Vote blue 💙 until the GOP cleans out their "political party" from zealots and cult followers. The GOP needs to take government service seriously, and only present candidates who have those skills.
A country built on near native american genocide, stolen land, slaves backs, slave lynching, free black people lynching, police brutality...it's always been scary. It's just going to get scarier and scarier for everyone (instead of just the minority and marginalized) because the ruling class is greedy and won't stop to make more money no matter what it costs.
@Paul Heydarian - Thank you. For some of us, it's been scary for a very, very long time.
Now that its predation is reaching different demographics, its horrible nature is being felt far more broadly.
Pregnancy is so dangerous now.
Soon, red states will find that young families don't want to live in their states, especially because more and more those states have no ob GYN MDS. How can you start a family in a state without the major doctor that you need for your pregnancy? So red states are going to be populated primarily by retirees. For many red states, their economies are already suffering. Without a population of people in their child bearing years, how will they sustain whatever economy they still have left?
Why a woman would vote for the party responsible for this
...is baffling.
Internalised misogyny. They hate themselves, they hate other women. Low self esteem, low self worth. Frankly, I don’t like these women either. They bring us all down. They would like nothing more than to drag all women back to the 19th century with them. 🤨
Indoctrination. The Daughters Of the Patriarchy. If we can flip these DOP's, we can change so much!
rich people transcend gender...they can afford private docs and medical tourism.
Or a man
The high maternal and infant death rates should be alarming in republican states the deaths are due to no health care
''In republican states"? Those stats are massaged, as Europe and the U.S. count infant death rates differently, and I think you'll find that there are the same problems in ''democrat states''. You also have to weed out the illegal immigrants, the drug addicted and mentally ill from these numbers, as these populations don't always do what's in their best interests. My Aunt was bi-polar and could hardly help herself, much less her children.
@@TGP109 Have you been in the SE of the US? You're going to tell me in these ultra poor areas that there are similar stats to Blue states? Not even close. You have super high teen pregnancy in those red states and limited access to life saving abortions--was the message not loud and clear? In parts of Idaho there are no OBGYN clinics for a hundred miles. Another more sordid set of facts--red states have higher rates of incest with young girls. These young girls sometimes are unaware of their pregnancy and sometimes they're hiding it from family and peers. On top of this there is a huge disparity in proper sex ed--so not only teen pregnancies but also higher rates of STI transmissions.
Blue states have much better resources and are very realistic about how to address all issues mentioned above--I worked with at risk youth for 12 yrs in CA, OR, MN, and AZ. AZ had the worst access and highest teen pregnancies and complications by far--AZ is also ranked around 46th in education.
Bottom line Women are more susceptible in red states and with the abortion bans and christian nationalist laws and bounties you will see and are seeing mortality rates increase. No one had an issue with Abortion when it was the man of the house or a male Physician making the call but when Women were given the right to choose the Christian patriarchy lost their minds--they certainly don't care what happens to the mother or the baby--they just want more ammo for their idiotic culture wars in more donations to get richer.
Why the health insurance industry is not saying anything about this issue is unbelievable. It will cost more money to treat women whose medical problems worsen due to lack of care. This will cost more money and they care about paying more money for care instead of profits.
The harm to women is real but the guests language is too academic. Stronger language is needed to get the point across. i.e Poverty, government welfare, loss of womb, babies forced to be born deformed, death at childbirth, etc.
No. The US should stop trying to dumb down everything.
Very important work here, both by the researchers and the journalists. Anyone who wants to talk about this topic should watch this, including our Supreme Court wizards.
Incidentally, the tortoise referred to laws from the second and third Reich when he referred to (among others) Germany. The appendix of these laws has grown absurd over the decades. Our supreme body of the judiciary even recommends the legislature to delete these articles. Just like the articles on homosexuality: Paragraph 175 of the Criminal Code (StGB) criminalized homosexuality for more than 123 years and legitimized state persecution of gay and bisexual men. Only since June 11, 1994 has there no longer been a special criminal law provision on homosexuality in Germany. Section 175 of the Criminal Code was finally abolished. It took the Federal Republic 45 years to do this -
Fundamental law for the Federal Republic of Germany
kind 2
(1) Everyone has the right to free development of their personality, as long as they do not violate the rights of others and do not violate the constitutional order or the moral code.
(2) Everyone has the right to life and physical integrity. The freedom of a person is inviolable. These rights may only be interfered with on the basis of a law.
The cons on the SC don't care.
They can access this info far more easily than the public, but choose to go with the narratives that fits their callous mindset.
Thank you for doing this important work.
How can those anti-abortionists call themselves pro-life?
Its just what they try to call themselves. They’re murderers. They wont stop until they taste blood.
Cause they’re colossal hypocrites. 🤷🏻♀️
They aren’t pro life. They are pro-forced birth terrorists who believe in biblical law and biblical law declares that women are property. This is a theocratic takeover of our medical landscape.
‘Cause they’re against the intentional killing of babies. What a novel idea.
This discussion goes beyond personal liberties, bypasing ethics and is about denialing of reality. You´r maybe thininking U R defending humanitarian values U R not. U R defending freaking reality!
This is a case of treating symptoms and not addressing the problem, and what’s worse we don’t do our research to understand where these problems come from. The issue of abortion comes from the industry of slave farming, where the women were forced to bear children to produce slaves, since the practice of importing slaves and slave migration was constitutionally prohibited starting in 1808, so slave states had to produce their own slaves, the women were considered as cattle, they did not have any control, and the children were considered as the slave owners property, a commodity which had more value than the women used to produce them. These children were fathered through rape and incest, and the health of the mother’s was not an issue, if they died during childbirth, so what, as long as the child survived, so today this principle of slave farming continues, that’s why the abortion laws in the south are as strict as they are, because they still consider the children, all children, as the property of the slave owners, and it’s the production of children which is what is important, not even the health and welfare of the children is important, because it’s an industry, they only need to raise them to the age where they can work as slaves, even the conditions they worked under doesn’t matter, because if they work the slaves to death, they have a new crop of slaves to take their place, so that’s what they did, they worked the slaves to death, and replaced them with the future crops of slaves, this made slaves just another column on the profit loss ledger, they were not people they were cattle.
If you still don’t believe this then read “Sugar in the Blood” where they detail the work conditions of slaves, they even were forced to wear masks so they couldn’t consume sugar cane they were harvesting, they got absolutely no nutrition, and they were worked to death and replaced, this is the legacy of American slavery, nothing like this ever existed in the world throughout history.
This is also the reason the Vatican made abortion a sin. Since Jesus, abortion was not a problem for the church. It was only if the women felt the baby move, the quickening, that it became a sin. Which really left it up to women. Then for some reason after the abolition of slavery the catholic church made it all a sin.
Thank you .this was very well written and informative .
A fetus isn't a baby. Bodily autonomy is a fundamental right. Abortion is health regardless the scenario.
Agree! We need to continue non violent protests against rights being removed!
@@sharonolson5782 we've gotta continue to organize against the ruiling class controlling is. :)
A fetus isn't a baby? Then what is it, a lizard? Bodily autonomy means different things to different people. If the ''fetus'' is 8 months old and can survive outside the womb, what about it's ''bodily autonomy"?
@@TGP109 If you choose to assign person hood at conception or whatever then that's your choice. The law treating pregnancy as if there is personhood at early stages and making it more difficult to get an abortion is putting the lives of living, breathing, sentient women at risk. I choose to place greater importance on the life of the mother than on her staying pregnant.
Also, no one who gets an abortion at 8 months is doing so because they just don't want to be pregnant anymore. Abortion in those cases is due to life threatening conditions or severe abnormalities. Remember, abortion is just the term for ending a pregnancy. Ending a pregnancy to save the mother's life is still an abortion. That's why this is so dangerous. Women who are being made to wait for life saving care to end dangerous pregnancies because the healthcare practitioners are afraid that they will be charged for murder.
Also, some people believe an abortion is any interference with a pregnancy, even the use of birth control to prevent it. You are playing on a slippery slope here, because the same politicians attacking abortion have openly spoken about restricting or outlawing birth control next. Once abortions of all kinds are illegal they simply push to classify birth control as abortion. We're already seeing people denied crucial medications that have been labeled as abortificants. This is the kind of thing that happens when you allow religion into politics. Religious zealots will push for the most extreme of laws that the majority of us do not support and are not in the interests of citizens. You may think you're doing the right thing because you've been told that you are saving babies, but please, look around and be fully informed about the fallout of these policies. I don't think you're seeing the full story and possible implications of a world where abortion is illegal.
Keep shouting this from the roof tops!
This Law is that bad that it will be a historic example for bad laws. 🤦♀🤷♂
A judge blocked that new law. So its back to 22 weeks, for now.
These women and their families need to sue the SCOTUS. I heard one of the justices, who said, if anyone thinks their rights have been limited, they have a right to sue the person who restricted their rights. Go for it! Take them down.
There is a lawsuit with 5 women in Texas who are suing Texas.
My humble advice, do your best to avoid pregnancy and if you really want a family go to a blue state. Your chances are so much better there. Maternal death rate is very high for richest country in world and it's a damn disgrace. Having children in red states to me now is like Russian roulette.
Half of the counties in Texas do not have any women’s health provider* at all. Over 350,000 Texas women live in counties without a women’s health provider making it more dangerous to become pregnant and harder to get birth control.
Texas is one of only 5 states that require a parent to written consent for their child to receive instruction on human sexuality and the prevention of child abuse, family violence, dating violence, and sex trafficking. If a Texas school chooses to teach sex education (it's not required), curriculum must emphasize abstinence.
Texas has been controlled by Republican politicians (bought by gas, oil and gun industries) for over 30 years because it has a low voter turnout.
Vote every single election.
*women’s health providers include certified nursing midwives (CNM), direct entry midwives (DEM), nurse practitioners (NP) with a specialty in women’s health, obstetricians, gynecologists (OBGYN), physician assistants (PA) specializing in obstetrics and gynecology

They should abstain from having sex and read the Holy Book instead.
And encouraging CHILDREN to abstain from sex is “bad” in your opinion? I’d love to hear your defense on this.
It's not about encouraging "children" to have sex. It's about being realistic about biology. All of the changes of puberty and the instinct of preserving the species drive adolescents to have intercourse. If adolescents do not have sophisticated levels of knowledge about their bodies, they do not have the intellectual tools to resist the biology. Just saying "sex is bad" is not enough to combat billions of years of the biological drive to reproduce. Sex education also gives young people the knowledge they need to resist older sexual predators who take advantage of young people who are sexually naive.
@@girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288 And teachers who believe boys can become girls and encourage kids to validate the adults on the room should be doing the teaching of such things? People who think there really are no limits when it comes to sexuality and sexual instruction of children? No thanks. I agree, kids need to learn about sex. But not from freaks. I prefer they learn about it from their parents. But I’m old-fashioned like that.
I am sorry that you hate teachers. Not sure what happened when you were in the fourth grade, but I suggest you work that out with your therapist or maybe your pastor.
The reality is most parents do not have frank conversations with their adolescents about sex. Not every parent has a graduate degree, and not every parent with a graduate degree has a degree in biology or reproductive health, even special research in health and hygiene. Therefore, using science and health teachers as a resource gives adolescents access to higher quality and more current information than they are likely to get from parents. Especially because most parents are unlikely to have the talk at all. The topic makes them feel uncomfortable, so they avoid it. If they force themselves to have the talk, it is likely to be a brief clumsy conversation peppered with a lot of "when I was your age," "you're too young for anything like that" etc. Parents are unlikely to create an in-depth curriculum for the topic to stretch across several months. That is the experience that adolescents can receive in a one semester health/hygiene class in middle school or high school.
In addition, because conflict between teens and their parents is commonplace and even entirely normal during puberty, it is helpful to get information from other trusted adults at this age. Teens are very busy forming their own self image and sense of independence, and that essential normal psychological work tends to make teenagers push their parents away for a time.
Try to work out your hatred of teachers without depriving all the adolescents in your state access to essential knowledge that they want and need. Education is a good thing; give it another try.
#1 Presidential Election issue, just like the mid-terms.
Abortion procedures are used when wanted pregnancies go wrong to prevent sepsis and loss of reproductive organs. Pro Choice means allowing patients to make their own medical decisions. That's the way it should be.
"NOW."
Edit: "Now" or "NOW" is the signature word of a pop journalist.
this is sad
We are back to the 60’s. Women are losing our rights!
The tone of this interviewer was extremely off putting and antagonistic toward the researchers, whose research is essential. The passage of every law has consequences. Banning abortion on demand is one thing, but to allow those laws to kill women who need therapeutic termination procedures to save their lives is inhumane, repugnant and draconian. Our sad, poor country!
We can't have this conversation in a vacuum. She did a great job giving these researchers an opportunity to address the opposition without being adversarial.
Vote BLUE for YOU.
This discussion goes beyond personal liberties, bypasing ethics and is about denialing of reality. Morality and belief are by no means a basis on which to base an argument, especially when it comes to life and death. And the BS about Germany's laws being spread by e.g. senators in your parliament is unbelievable. The scale varies from funny to disgusting. Keep sane and good luck! 🖖
Cruel! they don’t care at all about the baby after it’s born
An Arizona teen has a live birth in a hospital and then throws the newborn in the trash, this was the only CHOICE she thought had?
And in other news, water is wet.
And essential to life.
How can I find some dry water? 🤔
@@dolliscrawford280 as is access to healthcare
Can't both be solved at the same time? Why can't people both find a way to better screen life threatening illnesses and save babies? Why does it have to be one or the other?
How do you screen for a life threatening complication before getting pregnant?
Because pregancy,like the human body, is complicated. There are a myriad of ways that things can go wrong. Then, all complications are different. However, if something does go wrong, the risk of infection is high. So the chances of a life threatening sepsis at that point aren't uncommon. Oversimplification doesn't solve anything.
Great information and knowledge.

@k99coin THAT IS HIS USER NAME
Yeah, you're right ... just yesterday i made a huge cash out using his signal….
South Carolina sounds like a very progressive place to live. 😊Good for them-!!!
Paid for by The Public yet Represents only one side. How special
The 2 guests discussed the findings of their study of 50 physicians across 14 states. Participation in the study was voluntary. Were the researchers meant to _force_ other physicians to participate & respond?
The interviewer asked about whether there were participants in this study who took the view that abortion is wrong, what more do you want? What's the other side you're hoping to hear about? How abortion bans help women? You'll be waiting a while for that study to turn up.
That is a report on a factual, scientific report. The other side is fiction.
Abortions pose serious risks to the lives of unborn children.
Don't like abortion, don't have one.
That's freedom
A fetus is NOT a child. But more importantly, what a woman decides to do with her own uterus, it’s not your damn business. 🤨
As if a woman in her third trimester ever comes to the gynecologist and says, "The bastard kicked me one too many times now! I want to get rid of it!"
And an unborn baby pose a serious risk to the lives of women. IT LITERALLY GOES BOTH WAYS MY GUY. But okay. Just force women, who medically cannot bear children to just give birth and then die, probably at a young age too, lets just let a YOUNG girl, lets say, about the age of 10, having to push out a fucking 7 to 8 pound BABY out of her NOT YET DEVELOPED BODY, and lets just also have her die because, yknow, " its life guys !!11!! Lets just ignore the fact that this little girl is not fully developed enough to give birth to a fucking HEAVY ASS BABY, THATS PROBABLY HALF HER DAMN SIZE and kill her bc, like !!! The unborn baby is more important that the assaulted victim! " woo ! you guys are so, so fucking pro life and great !
Guess what. I was here first. Its my body to give or not. How does a bunch of cells trump a whole breathing feeling thinking woman.
😧 Forcing someone to carry a fetus with e.g. anencephaly to term and give birth is just plain cruel! upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Anencephaly_front.jpg/220px-Anencephaly_front.jpg
That link only had a picture without an explanation.
Unfortunately, I did not find an article in English and thought this sonography speaks for itself. But due to your request I am attaching an AI translation of the description and a link to the German-language article.
[Anencephaly or anenkephaly (from Greek α privativum and ἐγκέφαλος enkephalos, "brain" → "without brain") is the most severe form of malformation of a neural tube defect (NRD). It occurs before the 26th day of pregnancy. In children with anencephaly, the skullcap has not closed, and portions of the bony skullcap, meninges, scalp, and brain are missing to varying degrees. The brain stem is developed in only a quarter of cases. Furthermore, the pituitary gland is underdeveloped. Life expectancy after birth is only a few hours.]
